Yea, also I'm sure your right leg will return more or less to normal now and you'll be able to walk in a straight line again real soon.

hard to beat the BRP for what its got stock standard and price.... shocks,carb, torque.
Went for a blat up thompsons track, been 22 years since my last visit, track hasent changed that much over that time, although this time my trail riding skills are farkin shameful the ol girl just soaks up the rocky bumps and mud ladden wallows, was in first gear most of the way in and a lot of clutch riding till i got some confidence and riding legs back was a fantastic work out even managed to sneak a little down the eastern side turned around just before the track gets shall i say "Aquatic"... had a snack at the top and made my way back down, even managed a bit of second gear speeds had a loosey down some side tracks and came close to some real no point of return(not without a push anyways) got back to the bottom had to strip and hang the soaked riding gear up to dry...
